  • @DRAGONKING-di9tu
    @DRAGONKING-di9tu Před 3 lety +25

    Something I’d recommend doing is easing into your binder and not just wearing it for 8 hours on the first time- when I first got my binder I only did an hour every day for the first week then added another hour weekly. It also helps if you take at least one or two day breaks from your binder especially since you also need to wash it as well. These are just some helpful tips I’ve learned while researching/owning a binder

    • @scouttyra
      @scouttyra Před 5 lety +14

      If you are uncomfortable in a regular bra, maybe you feel more comfortable in a sports bra (try different ones, some are designed to both support and help keep the shape of the boobs), maybe you have tried this already but if you haven't you should. Easier to get ahold of, and you can wear them on the days you don't bind (when/if you get a binder).

      i mean, the only way to own a binder is if you lied. For a tank binder, you can just say it’s a tank top and half binder is just a normal bra but used for sports. It really depends on how clueless your parents are, my tip is to just never mention what a binder is to them because there’s a 99% chance that they will say no. You can always just buy a visa gift card and buy the binder without asking your mom to buy it for you.

      Please don't do that, you can mess up your body seriously. You can cause lung damage or rib damage or you might deform your breast tissue to a point where you won't be able to get top surgery cause the surgeon will refuse to operate on your messed up chest, or if you do get top surgery one day, your results might be worse. I beg you, please don't destroy your body and your future like that. If you really need to bind and really can't buy a binder, there are places where you can get a free binder, or if you can't because of parents or sth, wear compression sports bras or wear two sports bras, one of them backwards. The first method can be surprisingly effective and has very little health risks, while I would still be very careful about the second, but it's one of the few binding methods without a binder that isn't highly unsafe.
      There are people that have horribly injured themselves with diy binders. Please don't wear those.

    • @dumpstercub2902

      So the problem with that is while a binder binds with compression and moves with you as you breath, pillowcases, which are usually made with linen or cotton don't do that. I think you should listen to your friend.

    So for all my fellow trans ppl who wanna bind but cant get a binder (because they cant order it to their home, dont have organizations in their countries etc.) : take a pair of old tights, crop the legs so that theyre as short as a Shirts sleeves, cut a big hole in the crotch part and then put on a sports bra. Fit your head through it and If youre wearing it, put a slighty bigger tshirt or hoodie on so that it looks even more natural and remember to take everything off overnight and after 4-6 hours (theyre not official binders, so be extra careful). After wearing it, make sure to stretch your arms, back and shoulders and if that method turns out to be dangerous (although I've heard from various sources that its a pretty good alternative) I'll immediately take the comment down.

      Most people with larger chest will still have a bit of a curve in their chest even after binding. So yes I would recommend a GC2B binder as well. They are on the cheaper side and very comfortable in my opinion. They also come in fun colors or nudes depending on what you're into 😺

    • @code_blue5060
      @code_blue5060 Před 5 lety +7

      It's VERY bad. I don't know if you've ever used ace on a sprained ankle or something but it basically gets tighter as you move in order to keep an injury stable. If you bind with ace it will get tighter and tighter around your rib cage and eventually break a rib (which could puncture a lung).
      Please don't bind with ace, duct tape, anything really that isn't a real binder.
      Trust me, any dysphoria you have is insanely preferable to that.
      If you can't afford one then there are always giveaways on Tumblr or places that sell binders (www.shapeshifters.co has one on right now :) ) and help schemes which can provide new or lightly used binders.
      If it's a matter of secrecy, I'd go with shipping it to a trusted friend's house or the whole 2 sports bras (but be really careful with that.)
      There are no pros and cons here. Just please don't.
      I hope I've helped. 🤗

      I would recommend getting tape to bind. Not bandages or anything but transtape. It binds pretty much the same but you are able to breathe in it normally. It works better on smaller chests tho, but i use it too (Double D cup size) and it works just fine. A binder from gc2b in the right size is safe to wear, but only wear it up to 5 hours, and make sure to take it off when you're extremely uncomfortable/ can't really breathe like usual. Also make sure to stretch about every hour, and don't exercise in it. Ever (nobody should do that).

    • @BarkingKittens
      @BarkingKittens Před 6 lety +12

      Kamryn Quinn I'm not a doctor or expert so this might not be accurate, but I think it has to do a lot with stretching the skin and being able to operate on the tissue. Binding might shape the tissue in a weird way so that it's harder to remove or make the final results of the surgery look misshapen?

    • @pandaprince7677
      @pandaprince7677 Před 6 lety +7

      It causes the breast tissue to break down and sag faster, this is problematic because despite its ultimate removal the skin elasticity could be compromised making your post-op recovery time to be longer as well as compromising some of the overall aesthetic results ultimately. More concerningly if you bind for well over a year consistently it has similar affects to that of a corset- ei. slightly reduced lung capacity and its very common to see those who bind have ribs that stick out slightly more than they has pre-binding. Apparently binding too tightly can also ruin the connective tissue of the upper torso. This can have adverse health effects such as
      * infections
      * cysts
      * misshapen/asymmetrical breasts
      * damage to the respiratory system

    • @parallel4

You could send the binder to a friend who supports you and has supportive parents annd if you dont have the money you could ask your friend to help you out or you could try to get a free binder. If you cant do that you could try to wear 3 sports bras ontop of eachother and it could work aswell and its safe.

    • @simplyvince1744
      @simplyvince1744 Před 4 lety +1

      It's generally bad to have compression like that when you're having to move a lit and breathe deeply. The issue is it constricts the lungs and ribs. Example: I don't do anything intense and I've noticed that my breathing pattern is completely different with a binder (my size, fits fine). My breathing tends to be shallower and I just breathe more often. It's uncomfortable to breathe normally (tight in the lungs + pressure on the ribs). So for sports that would be an issue because typically you need to be able to breathe more/heavier than normal. Probably not the safest, it might cause actual rib injuries or at least some kind of pain.
      As for alternatives there are a few options.
      Some of the (unpadded) high impact sports bras can actually compress a decent amount depending on your chest size. The Champion brand has some good ones (or they did? They discontinued my favorite ones a few years ago and I'm still too annoyed to look at their other styles). Again, it really depends. Sports bras tend to be very "lift and support" which doesn't help but some of the high impact ones are more of the "just glue them down so they don't move" variety which does help. You might have to try stuff and read reviews.
      Underworks makes a binding bra which some people like for sports (I haven't tried it, I've just read reviews, would recommend doing some research). It is shaped like a sports bra but is designed to bind. It doesn't bind as well as a regular binder but it's meant for sports so I can imagine it might be better for your ribs.
      I also think Shapeshifters makes a sports binder but they aren't currently selling binders at the moment (they're just selling anything they have left in stock which isn't binders and they're making face masks) so I can't check to confirm that.

    Before I leave this comment, please don’t reply with hate I just want an answer.
    Okay so I identify as nonbinary. I’m out to my parents, although they use the wrong pronouns and my dad thinks it’s some sort of phase (maybe it is I dunno) but I am considering getting a binder this year (or maybe next year) I’ve identified as nonbinary for about a year now. Okay but the main reason I wanted to leave a comment is I’m probably going to get a binder (hopefully soon) and I genuinely want a flat chest but (at the moment) I do not want top surgery because that’s kinda a life changing thing and I can always just not wear a binder (plus I’m not old enough) From what I know binders kinda fuck up your chest. So you have to be really careful. Do you still recommend wearing one? I’ll feel less dysphoric so..

      If you'll feel less dysphoric, buy it. Just, be careful

    I'm really nervous about this...I'm 13 and my parents don't know that I am a trans (female to male). I also don't want it to be obvious that I have a binding thing on, someone help. My parents will be disgusted and annoyed that a child like me exists, and I don't want to disappoint them, I know some people at my school who are lesbian, however I am extremely nervous about asking her. And I don't think I can speak to her alone. Question : Is it ever too late to bind?

      No, it's never too late. their isn't a certain age you need to stop binding. Also, you don't have to tell your mom you're trans to get a binder. You can just say "I found this undergarment that makes your chest look flatter, and I would feel more confident with a flat chest." Also, you can get a Visa card and buy a binder with that. And order around the holidays so you can just say it's a gift. (If you need to hide the binder from them)

    Does anyone know how to get the free binder I am in a transphobic house and don’t know how to get one 😰

    • @feet4557
      @feet4557 Před 4 lety

      There are multiple companies that provide free binders. I would just look up free binders or donated binders. Also if you do find a way to obtain a binder you should ABSOLUTELY find a good friend that you trust to ship the binder to. Also after you take off your binder you should hide it where only you can find it. That way none of your family will find out. Hope that helps!
